I woke up this morning to find the character i've been playing for 3 weeks has been killed and I'm not sure exactly how he died but here is my guess. I was hanging out doing my own thing and I just got a steel sword. I want to test how well it worked so I attacked my alt character. So i play all day and log out. I wake up and I get on to find my character is gone. I make a new one to see what has happened and someone used a cave and tunneled to my minehole came up the hole and murdered me. That is my theroy of what happened but i can't be sure. now, about private servers.
1. Well I don't want to play the game for 3 weeks and be murdered by some douche thats been playing 3 months straight.
2. If there were private servers I wouldn't need to put up a palisade or brick wall to defend myself.
3. Plenty of time to do whatever I want. Art, design towns, hunt...
4. Don't have to worry about my boat being stolen by trolls.
5. Lag... There would be none and my character would probably live forever... ( Lawlz) Maybe
6. No scents to leave.
7. My friends and myself can play without Lag and actually have fun playing and don't worry about the above.
8. If they had private servers I would donate alot of money to help further the games development.
I know some people may think this is a bad idea... But its only bad for the players that play the game constantly all day every day. The ones that murder and steal from the noob players.
